Dont' panic yet, it would seem EVERYone has some bit of scar tissue around the band. That tissues was pulled away to allow the band to go around. I have heard that scar tissue has interfered with replacing a new band after the old has been removed?

A complete unfill should get rid of your heartburn problems. Watch what you eat while unfilled. After you have given your body and band a break, maybe you can start back on fills slowly and carefully.

Don't be upset! Read up and find out what you can do to help yourself...a change in eating? some reflux/acid reducing medication? I'm not sure what else you have going on, but it sounds like this is just a bump in the road. Good luck! Keep us posted.
